TKK Multimedia presentation and virtual student interviews – TKK

This pilot was carried out by the International Relations Office, PR & Communication office and Lifelong Learning Institute Dipoli (TKK Dipoli) at Helsinki University of Technology (TKK). The pilot consisted of two parts: a TKK multimedia presentation and five student interviews, and it was conducted during the academic year 2007-2008. The purpose of the pilot was to offer general information about TKK through visual means (multimedia presentation) and to give potential exchange students the chance to hear other students' experiences on student exchange at TKK (video interviews).

The multimedia presentation is available both on DVD and on the TKK website. The student interviews are available on the student union's website.

On average, students' feedback on the multimedia presentation and the student interviews was positive. Focusing more on the visual means of representing information for (incoming) students was considered a good thing. The student interviews were considered more personal, and the information given through them more informal and “off-the-record” than in the multimedia presentation. The interviews were also seen as types of visual blogs, through which the students, who were on an exchange, could share their experiences. In turn, the advantage of the “visually impressive” and high quality multimedia presentation on DVD is that it also very suitable for promotional purposes.
